On starting up, a dialog box will be shown which asks you to type in
your password. Do so and click the "OK" button. If you get it right,
the dialog just disappears and the program exits. If you get the
password wrong, the machine will just shut down again. (There is also
a "Quit" button - clicking this will also shut the machine down.) As
distributed, the initial password is "Secret".
To change your password, click on the "New Password" box. A new area
will appear where you can put in a new password. Provided that the old
password is correct, the new password you type will be remembered
before the program exits, and will be used as the password in future.
Note that both the password and the new password will not show up as
you type them, but each character you type will appear on the screen
as a ?bullet? (?) instead, to prevent anyone else from reading your
password. Please be careful when entering a new password, as you will
not be able to spot any typing mistakes! It may seem a nuisance if you
type the wrong password and the machine shuts down without giving you
a second chance. However, this will also be more of a nuisance to
someone trying to guess your password!
